Neither Andrews or Telescope shop source their products from the official Australian distributor. Therefore, you have no local Australian warranty. I've heard a few horror stories here on IIS about getting SkyWatcher mounts repaired from Andrews...true, they're pretty reliable, but is it worth the risk? If I knew back then, what I know now, I'd have bought from Bintel.
Don't get me wrong, Lee and his staff were very helpful, this is not meant as a slight on them.
